Roland XP50 - Battery replacing !?

Post by composer »

Hi everybody,

Please help me with my problem, I am newbie. In my Roland XP50 the battery is low, and I have to replace it, and I am scared that all the data : sounds, patches, performances will be lost.

The question - how could I save all the data before replacing the battery ?

Kind regards,
Chris

Saving user memory settings and system settings (except for sequancer data) to a disk:
-Insert a disk on floppy disk
-Press [UTILITY]
-Select "3 - SAVE"
-Select "4 - SOUND"
-Type a filename
-Press [ENTER]

Here you can see pictures of XP50 motherboard and the CR2032 battery. You need to remove the back cover to access it. It is pretty easy to exchange the battery.

The Italian forumer "fefegno" ask you this:
"Hi,
I have save all sound to a floppy, and I have replaced the battery of my XP50. Now how I can re-load all my patch?"

Thanks for reply.

I just replaced my battery with the help of all of the above posts. Things were a little frightening when I plugged it in and every single note was out of tune. I reset to factory settings, loaded my user data from the disk and all is well ! Thanks to all, especially Cesarsound for the great guidance on this !
